The Hunger Games

Third film this weekend. This one took a shed load on its opening weekend in the US. The first part of a trilogy, this is like 'Battle Royal' but with less blood.
It started off 'hand held' style and initially it got on my nerves. But as the film progressed I got used to it and it turned out to be quite entertaining. Jennifer Lawrence, who I last saw in 'X-Men:First Class' was pretty cool and it was nice to see Wes Bentley, who hasn't been in anything decent since his debut in 'American Beauty'.. I was expecting a more dramatic ending, a'la 'The Running Man' but as this is only the first part...
